Phil Anselmo is on the record referring to Jimmy Bower as the Godfather of Southern Metal. Totally accurate. This man is a legend.
The children of the future need guys like Jimmy Bower. He plays simple stuff with simple, cheap gear and has his own thing, that people have tried to emulate for over 30 years. If you can get a sound you like, it doesn't matter how much your gear costs, or what brand your pedals are.
Jimmy is the only dude with the guts to admit that a down tuned guitar is essentially a bass (and only needs four fricken strings!) Love how simple his rig is, man. NO B.S.
It's a real man's rig. When I saw them his main amp crapped out during soundcheck so his backup Randall was pulled out. There was no tweaking or anything, he was just like "does it work? cool" cranked up the gain and played a kickass show.
@@StuartEWright Mad respect for simplicity!
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Except it's not. And he didn't say that. A bass has a 34" scale length and is an entire octave lower than a guitar. Not just down tuned one or two steps. An entire octave lower and down tuned are two completely different things. He said that his guitar is Bassey. He did not say his guitar is a bass. And he said he only plays four strings because he couldn't control the last two from feedbacking. Which what he probably meant was ringing out. He never said "a detuned guitar was a bass". You came up with that completely by yourself and put those words in his mouth. And you are 100 miles off from reality. Again. Bass guitars aren't down tuned. They are a 34" scale length which makes them an entire octave lower than a guitar. It's a completely different instrument. And is just as dumb as if you said a down tuned violin is a cello. There's absolutely no friggin way you play guitar. At least play it well and have any type of musical education.
@@worldssickestmedia2713 LOL...all true, except the last bit in which you try to insult me. I didn't mean to put words into his mouth, just reflecting on my thoughts that when a rhythm guitar is down-tuned low enough a bass becomes redundant. Also, I was actually trying to be funny, not serious. If comments like mine cause you to lose your shit, you should put some time and energy into therapy. Cheers
Jimmy is a really nice guy. I speak with the band members regularly and Im cooking for them next month. Ace person!
“Met” Jimmy for a minute in a bathroom once. He pulled up to the urinal next to mine. I said oh shit, and then my bladder got shy and i couldn’t pee. Any way, he played a great show that night. Love me some Bower Power!!!
Thanks for the story! 😂
Stage fright..lol
So I'm assuming you didn't shake his hand....
should have asked him to show you his gear 😂
. . . Jimmy Bower! This is the BEST DTB. Love his attitude and love his music/guitar playing. A no BS dude. Chill and not a gear elitist. Thanks for this!
I met jimmy after a Down show in Libertyville IL in the parking lot waiting for load out. It was like we knew him for years! Such a humble down to earth person. I hope to bulld him a top shelf sonex one day!!
I was fortunate enough to meet Jimmy when he was touring with Crowbar on the 'Broken Glass' tour. I think it was 1997? I remember him being very cool and laid back, for sure. Thanks for this video.
All hail to the mighty Jimmy Bower!
Jimmy's setup sounds amazing, I just saw EHG a few months ago without their rhythm guitar player and I ran up to the stage as Jimmy was packing up to see what all pedals he was using and he turned around and showed me that Ampeg, after having just heard them play a set, I was truly amazed. I've seen him with the Randall too, it sounds almost identical and just killer, nothing but killin' tones. Jimmy is truly the man.
One of my favorite tones ever
I love EHG. Ive known what jimmy used but its so sick seeing him showing off his gear. Thanks DTB!
Bower Power keeping his shit old and simple. Badass dude. Cheers.
Always comes across as super nice
0:15 A Complete little stealthy Doommetal Guitar
just as i love them
i also have a rare over looked Gibson called
LES PAUL STANDER DOUBLE CUTAWAY - BLACK SEXY GOTHIC COLOR
is like a beautiful marriage of a SG + LP
and it does has those Devil Horns that commands IommiLord Respect
No frills, no tricks, just plug it in and rock it loud.
Bower Power
El hombre que demuestra que con poco se logra mucho mas que cualquier otro ricachonmetal pueda lograr con sus nuevos sonidos y juguetes
One of my favorite musicians. Cool as fuck!
Jimmy is a character! I’m impressed with the Ampeg head. Haven’t seen one before.
Alright! Jimmy Bower! Bad ass. And they've also done a Kirk Windstein video that's awesome as well. Both beloved musicians in my opinion
Love Jim. Dudes been through the works. One of Anselmo's henchmen. Not just in music either. Hes a brilliant musician and friend.
if you dont love jimmy bower you are doing life wrong
I was waiting too long for this!!!!
CHEERZ%%%
Bower is the shit. Thanks for having him!
You the man jb
I can't say I'm a fan of EHG, but I liked this video because of how matter of fact he was. No rock star attitude or anything like. OK by me!
Except the fact that i'm indeed an addicted fun since back in the day, their sound / music is not the only factor for my deep and loyal appreciation.
What you said is!!! I want thAt from my musicians..
These are NO BS people with no "rockstar" vibez at the slightest. F@ck gimmicks man..
Just a bunch of dudes with pure love of playing music all together
This was one of the funniest, most down to earth videos about gear ever.
"it's really...wuuuu" hell yeah
The Power!
I used to run 2 full stacks with 2 SS150H heads. People always asked how the hell I got such a killer tone. I'd say "I just plug into this shit and turn it on" some of the dudes that would ask me about it had all kinds of rack gear and processors....If it works for you, cool. I just never needed anything else really.
0:41 me explaining to my mom why i need a new guitar
Favorite Gear Master Episode, Jimmy does not get the credit he deserves!Eyehategod and the first two Superjoint Ritual's is the shit!
I love when someone talks guitar and amps with no bullshit. 🎸⚡☀️🌙✨☠️
God bless Jimmy Bower!
Love Jimmy
I have an Ampeg VH-140C, similar to the SS-150, also really good.
legend
It's like RUUUUHHH
Fuck yea!
Jimmy is a fuckin guru
Bower Power!
Nice
cool dude
Please get Carcass on the north American tour
We'll try. Ultimately, it's up to them, not us.
BOWER POWER
Jimmy looks like the kinda guy you'd buy a forty bag or a half O from :)
He is
They definitely have one good 30$ bag if you're interested 🙃
@@rawbbingmysellph7464 I see what you did there haha
Damn that cab is beat to fuckin hell hahaha. Jimmy gives no fucks lmfao
Wow! Tone on zero..don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Kinda makes sense for his tone tho I guess. Bless ya Jimmy. Nola godfather
I had an ampeg ss150 it was the shit
DEATH METAL BANDS FROM 40's
Soooo does he play the guitar like a tenor guitar or a bass? Im just wondering
A t-shirt of Hank Williams. S J W!!!
Yeah, he took off 2 high strings, turn tone to zero, and bassy tone it must be the wood...
